Buu Thanh Pagoda

Buu Thanh Pagoda

Buu Thanh Pagoda is located at 62 Street 6, Ong Nhieu Quarter, Long Truong Ward, Thu Duc City. On November 30, 2006, Buu Thanh Pagoda was recognized as a City-level historical relic. Buu Thanh Pagoda was built in 1801, belonging to the Northern sect. The founder of Buu Thanh Pagoda was the Dharma Patriarch Tien Hien, who led the pagoda for 32 years and passed away in 1833. In its early days, the pagoda had quite a large architectural scale, built of precious wood, located on a large area of ​​land. During the war against the French in 1947, the pagoda was completely burned. In 1955, Venerable Thich Hue Thanh restored the new pagoda about 50m northwest of the old pagoda, located on a land area of ​​6.5 hectares. After 10 years of being re-established, Buu Thanh Pagoda was once again destroyed by the American invaders. In 1976, Venerable Thich Hue Thanh returned to restore the pagoda and assigned his disciple, Venerable Thich Hue Canh, to be the abbot. Regarding worship, Buu Thanh Pagoda belongs to the Northern sect, so in addition to the central figures worshiped are Amitabha Buddha, Shakyamuni, and Maitreya; The pagoda also worships the Holy Mother, Quan De Thanh Quan, and the Five Elements. Buu Thanh Pagoda was built in the style of the letter "Tam", the main works include: Main hall, To hall, and dormitory. In addition, within the pagoda grounds there are also a number of other works such as: Tam Quan gate, guest house, hall and residence of monks, Linh Son Thanh Mau shrine, Cuu Trung stupa worshiping Ngoc Xa Loi Buddha, worshiping the late Venerable Thich Hue Thanh... Having gone through two resistance wars against the French and Americans, which were also two times the pagoda was completely destroyed and then re-established, there are almost no ancient relics left in the pagoda today. All artifacts in the pagoda today such as: Dai Hong Chung, drum, Buddha statue, diaphragm, tureen... have been recreated in the last few decades. However, in the temple yard, there are still 12 green stones at the base of the pillars, square in shape, each stone measuring 40x40cm. In addition, in the pure land behind the pagoda (where the ancient Buu Thanh pagoda was located) there are still 5 ancient laterite towers of the previous abbots of the pagoda. These are probably the only relics that prove the long existence and former grand scale of Buu Thanh Pagoda. Source: Thu Duc City Cultural Center
